What did you think of The King's Speech (2011) ? For those of you who haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it as it accurately pictures **how society behaves around speech impediments, especially sturrering.** Personally, I didn't fully identify with King George VI - Bertie because I have the cursed "luck" of being what we call a covet stutterer. That being said, I did relate to Bertie's fears and doubts about seizing the power of his voice. I think that every stutterer experienced those fears, and few are the movies which tried delving into the topic... And this is why I'm very curious about your honest opinions on the movie.
